|  Bye Bye TiVo
TiVo,
DRM is the publisher's attempt to enforce electronically what they could not get legally.
**** I HAVE THE RIGHT **** (me) to record these shows for my personal use. The content owner (not me) has the right to distribute it, make money on it, etc..
I was going to buy a second unit for the bedroom, but now I'll buy a Snapstream unit instead.
I'm not buying from someone who treats me like a crook.

| Most of the junk available on television these days isn't worth either watching or recording, so if DRM issues get in the way of recording some network programming, in my book it's no great loss in the first place. |

| I know it would be a hassle but you can get super VHS machines for around a $100 bucks. Record first to it then to your DVR this would work well for regular broadcast TV, but it would suck for HDTV. The analog loop would, of course, strip out all of the macro-crap. It is irritating to think these MPAA a$$wipes are making electronic devices purchased with hard earned cash instant junk.

| It seems to me that this day in age all TIVO or any DVR company would need to configure is a software that disables the features like export or save to anything else. Label the program as View only. Software can be written to do just about anything it just how much money do you want to spend. Since Tivo lost Directv and needs to wait for Comcast to change over, the income there has to be low. |
